Reclusive Cartoon Preacher

Jack Chick, whose wonderfully bizarre tracts are the E.C. Comics of fundamentalist Christianity, gets profiled in the May issue of Los Angeles magazine.

I only wonder if anyone really (and I mean REALLY, in their heart of hearts) believes that stuff that Chick writes? I mean, the guy is pretty much wacked in the head--everyone is going to hell except him and a few close fellow-believers. And there are lots of people who criticize the Catholic Church, but "Death Cookie?" COME BACK TO EARTH, JACK.

Man, it all makes sense now. My Catholic Priest friend and I are going to create a new band that does Venom and Iron Maiden covers. And what else should we be called! "IDOLITOR" of course!! I want this guy to do our first album cover!! Maybe we'll call it "Slaves To Rock"

Ahhhh Mr. Chick... As a gamer I am more than aware of his infamous anti-Dungeons & Dragons tract "Dangerous Dungeons" were role playing games involve satanic worship and sucicide--even though in 17 years I have been gaming I've never met one satanist and the only sucicide of a gamer I knew of was because the fact that he was unemployed. (That book burning of gaming materials at the ends was particularly chilling.) His work made me realize that artistic talent has nothing to do with intellect.

If there are anti-Christian attitudes among gamers--and there are, I have them myself--it's only because of dim-witted Bible beaters like Chick.

Ya just gotta love people who think they have a monopoly on "truth".
